Frank Loggan Editor _This Issue Jamies Case Night Editor This Issue Jack O’Meara Assistant Night Editor Robert Shepherd L Prohibition? lyUNNY thing for a college paper to discuss—prohibition. But personal experience and a number of conversations with students who have returned from their home towns has convinced that the topic is an interesting one. We all know what kind of an impression “people” have about university and college life. It is gained from reading daily newspapers and, in some cases, from happening on such books as “Town and Gown,” or “The Plastic Age.” It is apparently a never-failing joy for many newspapers to obtain “racy” stories about college life and the “doings” of college students. They will play it up on the front page with intriguing headlines and they will write long editorials about the practice of hazing, or about co-eds smoking, or about drunken parties. Much is made of every such oppor tunity to create the impression that these are general practices in the universities and colleges. Of course, it is “old stuff” to say, “When I was young—” but it develops that some of the students who have been dis cussing this subject went to parties during the vacation which were largely made up of high school students, and they were not only surprised but disgusted with the atmosphere, literally and figuratively. Three and four years ago things were not like that. Dances did not start at eleven and continue to day light. Adolescent girls, and boys, did not get tipsy and blow .spioke in one another’s eyes at parties. So much for the “younger set.” There are similar parties which are attended by the older folks. There are teas. Places where women sit about playing bridge and vie with one another in naming the latest drink, and how to concoct it. The change from the active life of the campus, where a con siderable amount of time and thought had seriously been de voted to self-improvement and acquirement of intellectual growth to the home town where a considerblae portion of the people have apparently been devoting theigr energies and in genuity to. the mixing and drinking of liquor, was rather a shock. The peculiar thing about the whole business is that it is the so-called “upper classes” which seem to be so enthusiastic about this business of sneering at the very laws they themselves made and at outwitting the officers, their own public servants, whom they, themselves, are employing to “enforce” these laws. Sounds rather foolish and futile. We hear that the “upper classes” are decreasing and the “lower classes” are increasing in the population proportion figures. With louder and louder accents this fact is heralded, and is looked upon as a menace to civilization. It is argued that something must be done to retard this change, that it should be reversed, if possible. We, in college, are told that we, as the future citizens of the state and nation, will have to wrestle with this situation. Logically, it looks as though there is not much point in propagating this variety if it persists in stealng the very jam it hid from itself. Either it should learn better habits, or take the jam out of the cupboard and say to itself, “Here. Ilelp yourself.” The the jam won’t seem so desirable and won’t consumo so much time and thought and talk. And one student, who returned this term, wouldn’t have felt the relief he expressed in the words, “I am glad to get back here. It has a pleasant atmosphere after—where everybody soemed to bo thinking or talking most of the time about liquor parties and the latest drink.” DEAN ALLEN ms ! CHICAGO CONFERENCE ! Brie W. Allot*, dean of iho school of journalism, and Arthur Ij. Stono, dean of tho Montana school of journalism, wore tho only represen tatives from tho Northwest who at tended the throe day conferences of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Jour nalism, and the Association of 7teachers of Journalism, held at Chicago December Hit, 30, and 31. Because of tin accident, Dean M. L. Spencer, of the University of Washington, was unable to attend. Dean Spencer, Mrs. Spencer, and their baby were throws into a river in a railroad wreck at Chippewa Kails, Wisconsin, while en route to the conferences at Chicago. The baby was killed and Mr. and Mrs. Spencer both injured, were taken to the hospital, and Dean Spencer was still ther* at the time of the convention. Attendance at the meetings was very good and represented all parts of thn country. Dean Allen said. '‘In my estimation this ifc the first time that teachers of journalism have felt that they had a clear un derstanding of their problem. Schools are coming to be on. a much sounder basis than was formerly the case, with much less emphasis on superficialities and easy tech nique. 41 Younger men who were them selves trained in schools of journal ism are gradually coming to the front as instructors in the schools. I gat in with a group of older men,” he said, “all of whom admitted that the younger and more systemati cally trained element was already giving signs that in the course of time they would do much better than wo who had only i» newspaper office training.” Holiday meetings in Chicago in cluded lawyers, sociologists, econo mists and other social scientists, while the physical science depart ments held their meetings in Wash ington. The next meeting of the journal ists will be at New York. ALPHA DELTA PI TO GIVE JITNEY DANCE SATURDAY A matinee jitney dance will be given by the Oregon chapter of Alpha Delta Pi Saturday from 2 to 5 in the Cam pa Shoppe. (By W. L.) Resolutions resolutely resolving Ag the new term brightly begins. The cares of the past all dissolving Forgetful of previous sins— . I We'll study and keep up our read ing, . And hand in our papers when due. Our minds we '11 be carefully lead ing I On paths that are noble and true. Yet when the term nears its end, And the finals draw threateningly near, We’ll find that the “new” paths we wend Are the same as the previous year. • • • How lovely is the evening! Then I skidded on a leaf And the loveliness of evening Changed beyond belief. There little frosh, don’t cry If you’re paddled ‘twill make you grow And in 50 years if you try You’ll be a senior, I know. * • • I saw a hat come down the street, A fine 8-quart sombrero. Beneath there was a pair of feet. A senior short? I guesso. * * * Purple, green, red and brown Rainsticks passing up and down. Shifting swerving, swinging low— Sometimes catch an ear or so— “O, I’m sorry”—then we part. Rainstick dodging is an art! LAW REVIEW STAFF ADDS STUDENT EDITORS State Bar Members to Con tribute to Paper Change in tho policy of the pub lication of the Oregon Law Review, has added to the staff a group of student editors, Doan William G. Hale announced. These are selectod from the sec ond and third year classes on the basis of scholarship. Thofee now serving are John R. Bryson, Rupert R. Bullivant, Marion E. Dickey, David B. Evans, Armond A. Fuchs, Donald R. Husband, and Paul L. Patterson. This policy was adopted in order to have a satisfactory method of recognizing scholarship in the law school and to give these students an opportunity to do special re search work and gain experience in writing up their investigations. All of their literary productions will consist of comments on recent Ore gon decisions and will be published in the editorial section of the re view under the title of Notes. As yet iit has not been definitely de cided whether a limit will be set on the number of students who are to be elected or whether a definite scholarship standard will bo set. Hereafter the State Bar asaoola tiom will also take a pant in the publishing of the quarterly in that an editorial board will be selected by the Association to secure and edit contributions from the mem bers of the Bar of the State# JANUARY 10 IS LAST DATE FOR OREOANA PICTURES Photographs for tho 1925 Oreg ana must be taken before January 10, according to a dolree from Augusta DeWitt, editor of the an nual.
